3) Salman Khan:

Salman Khan might not be too big on endorsements and TV ads but he does have an interesting array of brands under his wing. This year he has witnessed his star power multiply, with numerous TV appearances, despite his ill-health. Salman earns about 4 crores for every endorsement. He currently endorses Mountain Dew, Wheel, Dixcy Scott, Sangini Jewelry, Red Tape and Chloromint. What people love about him is his extremely generous self and charitable nature. Though he loves spending and sporting a lavish lifestyle, this Bollywood star is a giver. He works actively for ‘Being Human’ and was the special Guest Star at the First Golden Petal Awards on Colors. His popularity with his beloved fans seems to have substantially increased with his latest movies and public appearances. Most people associate him with Thums Up, which catapulted the carbonated drink to great heights. His string of successful Bollywood movies has yet again proved that Salman is a long-term player and bounces back, no matter what.

4) Ranbir Kapoor:

Ranbir Kapoor is the current face of young Bollywood and Youngistan. His boyish charm and ability to perform his best, no matter what, has shot this wonder to stardom. Some say that his stardom has come because of his family background but most will definitely agree that Ranbir has earned his spot at the top. The endorsement amount of Ranbir has gone up after the success of ‘Rockstar’ and is roughly around 10 crores. He might not have been big with brands but his ability to connect with the gen-next is uncanny. Any person who has seen the hoardings in Bangalore will surely catch a glimpse of Ranbir, promoting Tata Docomo. He currently endorses Nissan Micra, Pepsi, John Players, Panasonic and is speculated to be the next brand ambassador of Hero Motors. His popularity with the youth has made him a hot favourite among movie makers and brands as well. This charismatic Kapoor has, undoubtedly, won the hearts of many in India, especially that of the youth.
